Hello, first post here. I recently removed my dryer and then installed it back where it was the same way it was and now it heats up but gets cool after five minutes or so. I removed the vent and it still stops heating after heating up for a short time. Could me moving it have caused something to go wrong with it or is it a coincidence? What would you say my best coarse of action should be? Any help would be appreciated.

Ok so I took the dryer apart and started checking components. The fuses, radiant sensor, and thermistor all had continuity, the ignitor did not, I removed it to inspect it and test the resistance and I broke it, I replaced it with a new ignitor. Put it back together and same problem, heated for about ten minutes then cold. I pulled the gas coils out and tested the resistance and this is what I got, seems like they are ok. Any ideas on what else it might be?

Most manufacturers sell a coil set separate from the gas valve, because its a lot cheaper and they do fail. When they fail they often work the first time when they are cold. Then quit after they warm up.
